Final exams are just around the corner, and we all need that extra power to make it through the end of the semester. Whether you’re looking for a snack to help you power through studying, or for a food that will support your brain health for many years to come, we have a list of these brain foods to help make your brain strong.
- Curry
Turmeric, found in curry, has been shown to boost memory and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s.
- Walnuts
The omega 3 fatty acids in walnuts have been shown to boost brain function, as well as support heart health.
- Blueberries
Blueberries have been shown to support faster learning and stronger memory. Perfect for a midnight snack as you cram for that exam.
- Coffee and Tea
In moderation, coffee can boost your productivity. Of course, that doesn’t mean you should be drinking multiple cups to stay awake. A healthier alternative is green tea, which also provides antioxidants and boosts concentration.
- Apples
In addition to keeping the doctor away, apples have been shown to provide a powerful antioxidant that protects brain cells and supports brain function, making them a great snack choice for exam time.
Happy snacking, and good luck on those exams!
